The title of this blog says it all. Do you want complacency and comfort or consistency and commitment? You get to decide this daily, it’s your journey. It’s basically being at the fork in the road and getting to decide which way you want to go. Whichever road you choose to go down, it will determine how your life will go.
If you choose to go down the road of complacency and comfort, it’s pretty much saying, you don’t care to work toward something bigger than you. There’s being comfortable with the life you have and having no need to continually challenge yourself to be the best version of yourself.
When you choose to go down the road of complacency, you don’t get to complain about not moving forward in your life. You don’t get to say anything negative about your life and where it is, it’s your choosing. Corporate America is created to keep you comfortable, trust and believe.
With my current job, I have medical and dental benefits, 401k, pension and I work four days a week. I make a good salary where I can live comfortably but it’s not my purpose in life. Of course, I can dial it in, live my life working for my company until I’m in my mid-60s, retire and say, that’s my life. Am I doing that? Definitely not.
My managers know what I do when I sign out of work. They know what my goals are and know that somewhere down the road, I will be walking away from what I do and pursuing what I’m meant to do. That’s where the consistency and commitment come in.
When I started my job, I was already three books in. Now, I’m nearing 60 books with no plans on stopping anytime soon. My consistency and commitment to what GOD wants me to do is there. Now, you get to make that decision at the fork in the road to go down the consistency and commitment but once you do, you’ve gotta give 100% to it and daily.
When you start, you have to keep going. There’s no need to make a U-turn to go back to the fork in the road and drive down the complacency and comfort road. That’s not what you want for yourself.
Let’s start the journey of the latter, consistency and commitment to what you love and are dedicated to. Don’t doubt yourself, don’t question it, just go!
That’s my blog for today, thank you for reading, be good and go accomplish your goals!
